Real stories from the road
Each module typically costs 2–4 euros, and you choose how many you need. Why the focus on premium formulas? Because in tough conditions, subpar skincare can lead to big setbacks — from blisters and infections to severe sunburn that could force you to abandon the journey you’ve spent months preparing for. A small cost now can save a lot of pain (and money) later.
Below are real examples from our practice, including leftover modules that clients kept sealed for future trips. If you don’t see your exact scenario, chat with us — we’ll build a custom routine to match your goals, budget, and environment.
Week-long pilgrimage (French Camino)
Client: Anna (40), first-time pilgrim on the French Camino in July
Key Challenges: Early starts, intense heat, dusty trails, foot strain.
Our Custom Modules:
• SPF Moisturizer (2×/day) – daily sun protection for face and exposed areas.
• Gentle Face Cleanser (2×/day) – washes off sweat, dust, and sunscreen buildup.
• Recovery Night Cream – nourishes skin post-sun.
• Foot Balms, Anti-Chafe Stick & Plasters – proactive blister prevention and sore muscle relief.
Synergy with Clothing: We advised Anna to wear a broad-brimmed hat, UV-protective clothing, and moisture-wicking socks. Good skincare works best alongside smart gear.
Result:
Anna carried about 100g total. She had zero major foot issues, avoided sunburn, and any leftover modules stayed fresh in sealed packets for future hikes.
Foot care kit for a premium albergue
Client: A high-end pilgrim hostel wanting to offer extra comfort
Key Challenges: Blisters, sore muscles, and cracked heels among weary travelers.
Our Custom Modules:
• Relaxing Massage Cream (evening) – quick foot/calf massages.
• Overnight Foot Balm – hydrates and repairs cracked or inflamed skin.
• Anti-Chafe Cream (morning) – prevents friction before walking.
• Plasters – for unexpected hotspots.
Result:
Guests woke up with fresher, less painful feet, ready to continue their Camino. The albergue earned positive reviews mentioning the premium “foot care experience.” Unused modules remained sealed—no wasted product.
Facial recovery kit for the same albergue
Client: Same upscale albergue, expanding evening comfort for tired pilgrims
Key Challenges: Sunburn, windburn, dusty air exposure.
Our Custom Modules:
• Gentle Cleanser – removes dust, sunscreen, and daily grime.
• Hydrating Booster Serum – adds instant moisture.
• Restorative Night Cream – calms redness and helps skin recover overnight.
Result:
Guests felt pampered and grateful for a thorough facial routine without hauling their own heavy jars. The albergue stood out as a place offering “extra thoughtful” amenities.
Fast & light weekend hike
Client: Sara, weekend mountaineer prioritizing minimal weight
Key Challenges: Sun protection on the trail, refreshing without a shower, bug bites
Our Custom Modules:
• SPF Doses – multiple single-use packets for midday reapplication
• Mini Face Cleanser – to rinse off dust/sweat before reapplying sunscreen
• Night Cream – hydrates at the end of the day
• Insect-Bite Cream – just in case
• Lip Balm – essential for wind and sun-chapped lips
Result:
Sara’s entire setup weighed about 15g. She ended the weekend sunburn-free, with leftover modules staying sealed for her next trip.
Alpine bikepacking adventure
Client: Mark, tackling a week-long bike tour across mountain passes
Key Challenges: Long hours of sun exposure (face, arms, legs), friction in sensitive areas, extremely limited cargo space
Our Custom Modules:
• Broad-Spectrum SPF – easy reapplication for all exposed skin
• Anti-Chafe Powder/Balm – prevents painful sores while cycling
• Cooling Post-Ride Balm – soothes sun-exposed, overworked skin
• Lip Protection – high-altitude wind and sun are brutal on lips
Synergy with Clothing: Mark also used UV sleeves and padded cycling shorts to minimize direct exposure and friction.
Result:
Mark avoided sunburns and saddle sores, covering hundreds of kilometers with minimal discomfort. Leftover modules stayed fresh, ready for his next ride.
Why high-quality matters (and how it saves you money)
In remote or challenging conditions, cheap or ineffective products can derail your trip — leading to expensive medical care, new gear purchases, or even a forced early return. Spending a few euros more on each single-use module can protect the trip you’ve already invested thousands of euros (and hours of planning) into.
Unused modules? No worries. Because they’re individually sealed, they remain hygienic and effective for future journeys or everyday use back home.
